It was about five pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were relaxing going over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Fraserburgh and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Aberdeenshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not knowing the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Aberdeenshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Fraserburgh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Aberdeenshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Fraserburgh - Fraserburgh Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a great day golfing on my off day and was feeling pleased the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple on holiday in Fraserburgh. They'd broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Suzuki, and were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass regularly in Aberdeenshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he still had an earful. Poor boy. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would tell me if I made the same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
